Hey Friends! I just wanted to let you all know I am taking a semi-break/maternity leave from LuLaRoe as we prep for our baby girl. I shared a video about my plans for my LuLaRoe group, and you can click here if you want to check it out. I call it a semi-break, because there are still opportunities to shop if you need some retail therapy. You can continue to shop the weekend Megalinks, my website, or I am happy… Read more »

New RISE Collection – Athleisure!
Our RISE Athleisure Collection got an upgrade with several new styles, and more of the Lotus fabric. If you haven’t tried the Lotus fabric, yet, it’s a must! It has 4-way stretch, is buttery soft (think a thick version of our everyday leggings, and has a matte finish. All of the new Driven biker shorts are made of the Lotus fabric, and I also have some Brave and Fearless leggings in that fabric (it will be noted on the picture). … Read more »
Style Feature: Jessica Shorts
This week’s new style is the Jessica Patch Pocket Shorts. I love them, because they are the Goldilocks of shorts – not too long, not too short, but just right! They are made of a slinky ribbed material that feels soft and cool, perfect for the hot July days coming up. The elastic waistband makes you feel like you are wearing gym shorts, but the faux cuffed hem and patch pockets gives them that chic look. People are scooping them up… Read more »
30 Day Challenge – Yoga with Adriene – My Experience
For the past several years, I have “done” the Yoga with Adriene 30 Day Challenge that she shares every January for free on YouTube. I put “done” in quotation marks, because the 30 day challenge usually takes me until the fall to complete. Basically, I take a lot of breaks in between! This year, I did skip a couple days here and there, but was able to finish it by the first week of February. While I may not have… Read more »
5 Ways to Celebrate Galentine’s Day While Social Distancing
One of the best holidays of the year is here…you guessed it, Galentine’s Day! As Leslie Knope from Parks & Rec described it, “Oh, it’s only the best day of the year. Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It’s like Lillith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas.” This year has not made it easy to hang out with friends. Social… Read more »
LuLaRoe Happy Hearts Club Capsule Collection
It has been a longggg time since my last post (cough…two and a half years). I’ve been wanting to get back to blogging, and this amazing launch seemed like a great time to do it! A lot has changed for me since my first few blog posts. I now have a crazy dachshund/Italian greyhound pup, and a 2 month old son! More on them to come in future posts. I’m super excited about today’s launch, since LuLaRoe is launching THREE… Read more »
Love at First Leggings
So, I wanted to share my new recent obsession – LuLaRoe. Less than two month ago, my friend Sus asked me to join this online pop up boutique. I was definitely skeptical at first. Questions like, “What are they going to make me buy?” and “How much is this going to cost me?” ran through my head. I trusted Sus, so I joined the Facebook group to see what it was all about. After all, she put her number in… Read more »
Shoes Overhaul
About a month ago, I decided that I needed a shoes overhaul. It was a dire situation. Each day, I hoped that no one looked too closely at my feet, because my shoes were dingy and there were rips in unsightly places, and unfortunately they weren’t cool rips like ripped jeans. My beloved gold shoes that were bedazzled with jewels had one large one that kept falling off. I would usually find (rescue) it, and engineer it back onto the shoe, but… Read more »
Hello World!
Hello, World! (or at least the 3 people who have mistakenly clicked on my blog page). I have been Emily of Alexandria for almost 8 years. Before that, I grew up in Rhode Island and went to Penn State (WE ARE!). I decided to start this blog for a few different reasons. I’m thirty-one and I feel like it’s a transition stage for me. I recently got married to my handsome and goofy husband, Craig. We’re in that state where we… Read more »
